Which of the Following is Most Associated with the Ribosome

Question

Which of the following is most associated with the ribosome?
A) ATP production
B) Intracellular housecleaning
C) Glycogen storage
D) Protein synthesis

Accepted Answer

The ribosome is responsible for protein synthesis, as it reads mRNA and translates it into a chain of amino acids to form a protein. ATP production is attributed to the mitochondria, intracellular housecleaning to the lysosome, and glycogen storage to the liver and muscle cells.
